Arcturus Therapeutics Holdings Inc. ARCT
We are a messenger RNA medicines company focused on the development of liver and respiratory rare disease therapeutics. We have ongoing Phase 2 clinical studies for our RNA therapeutic candidates to potentially treat ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency and cystic fibrosis (CF).
We developed the world's first approved self-amplifying messenger RNA (sa-mRNA) vaccine, KOSTAIVE® ("KOSTAIVE"), which we have partnered with Seqirus, Inc. ("CSL Seqirus"), a part of CSL Limited. KOSTAIVE has achieved approval in Japan, the European Union and the United Kingdom as a vaccine against COVID-19, and sales of KOSTAIVE began in Japan in October 2024.
We have several key platform technologies that we leverage to develop and advance a pipeline of mRNA-based therapeutics for rare genetic disorders with significant unmet medical needs and vaccines for infectious diseases. Current mRNA medicines have two critical components: the messenger RNA ("mRNA") constructs and the lipid nanoparticles ("LNP") which help deliver the mRNA to disease-relevant target tissues. We have extensive expertise in the design and optimization of mRNA constructs, including with respect to a type of mRNA technology known as self-amplifying mRNA (sa-mRNA). Our proprietary self-amplifying mRNA technology platform, or STARR® ("STARR"), has been demonstrated to induce a robust, longer-lasting and broader humoral immune response at lower dose levels than conventional mRNA-based vaccines. Our proprietary LNP delivery system, LUNAR® ("LUNAR"), is intended to address the major hurdle in RNA drug development, namely the effective and safe delivery of RNA to disease-relevant target tissues. LUNAR may enable multiple nucleic acid medicines. We also have significant expertise and valuable know-how in the development and scalability of complex and robust manufacturing processes required to deliver the next generation of nucleic acid medicines.
